You spoke my mind. I was just about to compare it with EEE. It has been the modus operandi for the spread of what we now call Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent. Here is an example of that happening in the 21st century. Classic case of app

Brilliant book that. The way he explains how a polished rigorous proof hides the process(compared with frontend and kitchen views of a restaurant) by which a mathematician has arrived at it changed my perception of how mathematics is done.

Thank you and yes indeed. This, coupled with rotation invariance is ideal for design/trademark/logo infringement detection scenarios. This result for example is against the Indian Trademark database https://imgur.com&#x

That's a neat idea. Thank you. I was thinking of putting search functionality in the results page too so that it will save a click and display names of the brands but this is better. Makes it more fun to explore for the users. I implem
